Anguishing psychological thriller with a very believable display of a contained sociopath and his modus operandi.
It is in the vein of the 'my wife vanished and I don't have a clue of her whereabouts' theme displayed in other interesting movies like Frantic or Breakdown.

Interesting tale of kidnapping. Mainly from the perspective of the kidnapper. The director, George Sluizer did a good job of revealing information slowly to keep your interest going. thumbs up!
First of all, this movie is not for everyone. It's slow for the most part of it, it's not one of those "powerful" movies we usually see in the genre (and I'm talking about both good and bad ones here), and it's european.
